Well,

It seems that the Perth Test is still claiming scalps as Graeme Swan announces his retirement with two tests left to play.

He's taking his bat and ball and going home immediately Cry

It was obvious that his heart wasn't in it when he tweeted to his brother that he'd rather to have been home than being ass raped in Perth Huh

Hasn't this idiot ever heard of private email for private conversation?

I'd predict we're going to see more poms quit over the next two tests as Australia continues it's demolition job of a soft lackluster and winless English cricket team Grin

Australia win the series 5 -0

What an absolute thrashing we gave the poms...

The Poms came here as favourites and are leaving with absolutely nothing, not even their pride...

For me, the Poms lost respect for the game ... they lost it after the test back in England where they went out and urinated on the pitch after the game...

Disgusting ....,

Now they've been hit with a nice big dose of karma and it'll be as bitter as hell....

The Poms did too much pitch tampering in that last series to give them an advantage and a false sense of security.

Then when the playing field was a bit more level they discovered they had a bunch of duds playing.

I hope they go back and kick out all the "old boy " network and find some more real players like Stokes.
I wanted him to get a 50 today, he has guts.

they didn't have the umpires assisting them this time. They unequivocally won one test on the back of a hopeless decision and another one was hampered by dismissals that blind freddy could have done better.

This is why I love cricket. A test cricketer can make a good score on just about any ground in the world and be sure of getting applause and appreciation without regard for whether he is playing at home or away.
